My new favorite developmental milestone…

Charlie actually started doing this a couple of weeks ago.  Out of nowhere, he tried to make the sign of the cross when we sat down to eat.  It is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.  Sometimes he’ll do it several times during a meal.  He’s got the “Holy Spirit” part down, but he often forgets the “Father and Son” parts.  I wish I had video of it, but you’ll just have to take my word for it. 

Final Score: Charlie 5, Potty 0

Well, Charlie has showed some interest in the potty, and so I thought I might try a little potty training, just to see. I didn’t have much of a plan, beyond taking off the diaper and putting him on a little potty every 30 minutes or so, watching for clues to see when he needed to go, etc. Within the first hour and a half, Charlie wet 5 times. We missed the potty every time. After cleaning up all those messes, I put the diaper back on. I think I’ll do a little more research, and maybe wait a few months before trying again.

NFP meets Mac

These movies were put together by a group of seminarians in Omaha. So clever!
